Just Thought You'd Like To Know...

We received this last night, and thought it so lovely that we needed to share it with everybody:


Dear Tweed riders

So, Sunday mornings I usually take my 86 year old mother out to Sunday Bruch.

It gets her out of the Senior Center and we have always fun talking about her “crazy old sisters” back in Kansas .

Afterwards we usually take a bit of a driver around mid town and East Sac, mostly to check out the gardens, and this time of year, to see the changing colors of the trees.

This past Sunday was really something special for my mom.

While driving down the T street parkway (the “Elmhust” neighborhood),we drive past what seems like an entire Diaspora of tweed clad cyclists on vintage bikes, all waving, laughing, having fun and making the entire scene a 1920’s time warp in a beautiful old neighborhood.

My mother is totally enchanted, and she leans out the window and blows kisses at every cyclist we pass, she was beaming like a 6 year old.

When she got home, she called her sisters in Kansas to tell them all how great it is to live in California

You not only had a great time yourself, but you made one blue hair octogenarian feel like a kid again.

Bully for you all.

Now, put me on your mailing list so that I can join the fun the next time you go for a “Tweed Ride.”


Yep, we're on to something good here--and I'll be thrilled if he can take his mother with us next time.
